Its intriguing. on one hand, no way they take the belt off Reigns this soon, on the other hand no way they waste Stroman cashing in. I have no idea what is going to happen on the flip side, Hardy vs Orton in a Hell In A Cell match???? Who the heck cares???? Joe vs Styles better end up in the cell, otherwise another wasted build. With the rate that they love this gimmick... AJ's wife (or daughter, but that probably wouldn't fly with the FCC and be considered child cruelty) in a shark cage match!

Pastor Dillon Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 So i have decided that there is no way Reigns is losing the belt to Stroman and they are wasting the MITB contract on the Hell In A Cell pay per view. They can easily give Reigns an extended title run, simply by having him keep the belt in this match. We know that they are going to be in a 3 on 3 match at the Super Show Down Glorfied house show, that the Shield will win by pinning Dolph Ziggler. The next Pay Per View is not until November with Survivor Series. I suspect that once Super Show Down is over, Reigns will probably open Raw for a month with an open challenge, that way they can use the main event on Raw to build things for Evolution. Survivor Series will probably have the same Raw vs Smackdown theme or perhaps not, but wither way Reigns will probably be in an Elimination Match. I am thinking they need to put the GM for Raw position up for grabs at Survivor Series and have the extended shiled (Reigns, Rollins, Ambrose, Balor & Angle) Against a heel team of Corbin, Stroman, Ziggler, McEntire and a returning Kevin Owens. This makes the most sense storyline wise, and would be a great Main event for Survivor Series. You can even do an Ambrose Heel turn and have him screw over reigns to lose it or something. That would set up possible an Ambrose vs Reigns match at TLC Basically the earliest I can see Reigns possibly losing his belt would be a rematch with Stroman at Royal Rumble. It would make sense. Then they could possible let Rollins win the Rumble and Headline Mania against Stroman. It would be the first time 2 guys had their first Mania headliner in an extremely long time. They could even drag out the Ambrose vs Reigns thing if they want to, and build towards a match between the two at mania in a street fight or something. Personally I would keep the Shield together for a while and let them dominate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PARROTHEAD Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 LU with a nice showing tonight. Love how they arnt afraid to use color on wrestlers. Wish WWE did. Everyone looks and dresses the same generic dark way but for New Day. Still lovin Jake Strong (Jack Swagger) gimmick. Hope he starts facing competition before end of the season instead of the Muppet Babies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree wholeheartedly but alas, here we are. On another note, I leave WWE network on for my dog while I'm out because for whatever reason, it's apparently the only streaming service that will continue to play forever... but WWE is using the same match style for it's big matches as they have been for the last decade and a half.

PARROTHEAD Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Heels: Faces: WWE badly needs separation between their characters. New Day is the only thing they have with the slightest bit of personality. If youre a new viewer. Theres no way you could tell anyone apart.

Dr LBC Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 To be fair, while Johnny and the Worldwide Underground had been heels since Season 1 on LU, they've pretty clearly done an about-face and are being sold as faces on this season - particularly how they came out of the feud with the Reptile Tribe and had Drago freed.

Point taken. They do still pull heel antics, like last night telling the doll guy to, "Go on, get outta here." and his treatment at start of the show. But Im more on these appearances. Shield looks like 3 custodian workers. Think if youre someone new giving the program a try, or a youth. This is the type generic look and feel youll get from over half the roster. Especially with this superhero craze going on in the movie world. Figure theyd try something to bring separation in characters and give them personality. Its like theyre banking on you knowing who they are already and watch cause of that. I think they need to dip back to their 80s roots and have major, outlandish personalities. Flashy colors and outfits. Allow different sizes and shapes (Like the forgotten big and fat guys I posted on the page before). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they are cause raw seems to be working towards a couple survivor series match ups Team shield vs team Braun Shield plus big show Strowman, bray, ziggler, McIntyre Team angle Kurt, Jordan, Lashley, balor VS team Corbin Baron, Owens, mahal, Elias Could see balor being on team Braun and someone else on team angle roode maybe Smackdown may have, not as many clear alliances on smackdown New day + nxt call-up (dream?) VS Sanity and rowan Well I certainly didn't expect that to happen so quickly but nailed it none the less.

tom cody Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The Shield Triple Threat is how I'd go for WM 35 on the RAW side. It's good to have a full time champ on RAW again, the open challenge idea makes sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans were left wondering whether or not to boo or cheer and it just ended up being awkward. The writers are forcing the fans to boo Strowman situationally. He'll get the crap booed out of him when he's beating down Ambrose and Rollins, but he'll get cheered like The Rock when he faces off against Reigns in singles matches. All that being said, Strowman's long-term potential is best suited as a heel. You want your top face chasing the unbeatable monster heel. The opposite of this would be unbeatable monster face Strowman just squashing every heel on the roster. They are essentially going to follow the Brock Lesnar storyline with Braun it seems like. It's very hard to get a giant babyface over without burying all of your heels or making your monster face look dumb. It's much easier to build monsters for your faces to battle than vice versa. Chris Rock: You wouldn't help Mike Tyson beat up Steve Urkel, would ya? (side note: Kevin Durant would) It's the same kind of mentality that leads me to believe Strowman is a long-term heel. It was just executed poorly IMO. Well here's the thing. It follows the character. You mention you don't want your monster faces looking dumb, nor your monster heels either. Strowman does nothing he looks dumb. He does hell in a cell and gets backup, not dumb. The enemy of my enemy is my friend sorts of thing. We'll see how it plays out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
